Gernot Rohr Renews contract with NFF as Super Eagles Coach.

The President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick announced on the 27th of May that the contract of current Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr had been renewed.
The German veteran has been the head coach of the Nigerian national team (men) since August 2016, guiding them through the 2018 WC qualifiers and finals as well as the 2019 AFCON where they came out as second runner-up.
Amaju Pinnick said via his Twitter account:

“I’m happy to announce that the NFF and Coach Gernot Rohr have concluded all contractual discussions and he will stay on as Coach of the Super Eagles. We have always had confidence in his abilities and we are confident that the national team can only go higher from here. We can now focus on qualifying for the World Cup and winning the Nations Cup. In truth, these are sacrosanct and Coach Rohr is aware of these conditions. Like the Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Development has rightly noted; we are uncompromising in these goals. With the distraction of the contract talks out of the way now, we can now face our football on the pitch, totally. Again, I never lost confidence in Gernot Rohr’s ability to take our football forward and I’m convinced our football will only get better from here on”.

He’s been given a target of guiding the team to win the 2021 Africa Nation’s Cup to be hosted by Cameroon and as well qualifying the Super Eagles to the 2020 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
